Lay Eucharistic Ministry

The group of adults who participate in this ministry assist at the celebration of the Eucharist by reading the lessons (Lay Readers), and by assisting in the distribution of Holy Communion (Chalice Bearers).

Any adult who is a member of Holy Faith Episcopal Church and who has been trained by the coordinator may serve in this ministry.

The Bishop, upon the recommendation of the Rector, must license Lay Readers and Chalice Bearers and then they may take Holy Communion to the sick and shut-ins.
